What Causes Rashes All Over The Body?
my 9month old baby has rashes all over her body. this is since last friday. the doc i took her to prescribed omacortil forte syrup and syrup of cetrizine hydrochloride and ambroxol hydrochloride. it worked instantly but the rash came back yesterday. we took her to her regular pedatrician and her prescribed atarax drops and desonide lotion. nothing seems to be working. and both have different opinions, one says it is viral allergy and the other says it is insect bite. how long does it take for them edicines to work and how do i determine if it is a bite or allergy?

Hi, this is definitely not insect bite as insect bite will not persist for so long and in insect bite once the rash disappears, it doesn't come back. This rash could be due to viral infection or Measles, in both these conditions rash may reappear and persist for 1 week. Continue Atarax syrup and revert back with some good pictures of the rash. Take care.
